1t appears from the report of Gen. Black,
commissioner of pensions, that an addi-
tional million will be asked for next year,
making the total disbursement for pen
siOns SO, 100000. Last year the payments
were nearly $4,000 600 heavier than the
year before, and %, l94 original certificates,
the largest annual issue since the creation
OF the bureau, were perfected. Forty-four
thousand new pensioners received as Il
first payment over S25 100000 The num-
Der of pensioners upon tho rolls is now
10000 The list Of claimants is becoming
greater every year aud at the present rate
it Is hard to predict what the end will be.
\ study of the growth of this department
of the government in the past
twenty-five years is of interest In
| 1862 the pension list had for the
/ first time in many years fallen to less
than a 81 100000. In 1864 it was over 81 J..
100000. In 1865 it mounted to SIC 900 600
In 1867 it passed $50 600 900 In 1870 the
sum paid was over s2o, 100000 In 1871 il
( was S3t 10000 In 1850 it was S5G, OO0, 600
In 1881 1t was SCI 900, 900. In 1856 it was
$4,000 600, and in the year that closed last
June it was over $5AOOO,OOO, with over
1900 new claims filed and over So
900 allowed. To transact this i'm
mense business requires the. hand
ling of 1900 letters day by the
bureau. The government has been
paying pensions every year during
the past century and in that time has dis
tributed no less than billion of dollars.
Most of this vast amount of money has
been put into deserving hands and al
though chronic grumbler5 find fault with
the expenditure it is q record of which
any country might well be proud.

Mr.. Edmunds's Argument.

Though the main points of Senator Ed
munds's argument before the State
commission, in the Vermont case, have
already been given, and though the case
has been closed and the decision rendered,
the full report of his argument, printed
in another column, will still be read with
interest. 1t comprises clear statement
of the facts which made the interposition
of the commission necessary; and clear
and forcble statements both of the law
and of the equities of the case. The only
Point of any weight really was whether
there were conditions existing which
made it right for the roads to be charging
double the proportional rates on local
freight, that they We're charging on
through freight Our climate, SHOWS, and
railroad grades do not constitute eXcusing
circumstances. Vermont SHOWS are no
deeper and Vermont weather is no colder
for the railroads, than for the farmers.
The fact that a railroad is heavily encum
bered with debt does not justify it in eN-
orbtant charges for local business, any
more than a miller is justified in charging
exorbitant rates for grinding grain be-
cause he happens to have a mortgage on
his mill. The whole question, Mr.. Ed
munds shows, is one of justice and
fair play. The same rule applies
to railroads rs to every other cor
poraton or person 49, that Of pay
ment according to the value of the
services performed, and not according TO
the particular circumstances of the corpo-
ration or person who performs the service,
In his closing remarks Mr. Edmunds
shows how grossly unjust is the whole
system of charging more for short haul
than for long one Mr.. Ednuuds's pre-
dicton that within ten years Congress
will take still more distinct action in the
way of regulating rates Wd preventing
inequalities aud eEtor'uu ODD thr part of

The Color Line.

The Georgia House passed the infamous
Glenn bill, which forebade the teaching of
whites and blacks in the same school un-
der penalty of fine. Imprisonment and the
chain gang, by an overwhelming major
ity, but public sentiment in the North,
fear of the political consequences and a
good deal of sharp criticism from the South
itself, had so much effect on the Georgia
Senate that it rejected the Glenn bill by a
vote of % to 10, and has since passed sub
stltute which euforces the constitutions ii
prohibition of the co-education of the races
in a less offensive manner. The substi
tute bill provides that no educational insti.
tute in the State shall take both white
and c0lored pupils that such pupils
shall be taught in separate schools
that violation of the law shall
debar the offending school from par.
ticipating in any appropriation of the
public funds made for educational pur-
poses. This was finally adopted by vote
of "a to II. 1t is said to be unlikely that
the lower house will accept this bill, and
the result will be that all attempts at
such unnecessary legislation will fail this
year. This is good as far as it goes. 1t is
not to be expected that the Southern
whites will give up their ideas on the
color question at once. But what shall
we say when we see the color line still
enforced in Northern States Until this
year a law of Ohio has required separate
schools to be provided for colored chill
dren, That law WAS repealed by the Leg
islature of this year, and at some place,
the repeal has caused much excite
ment and disturbance. At oxford,
in that State in obedience to the de
maud of a large public meeting
the school board re-established the
colored school, which had been dlscontin.
ued at Yellow Springs the board, rather
than maintain mixed schools has clos ed
all the schools, and at Ripley colored chill
dren have been refused admission to the
schools, and a suit has been brought
against the school board to compel them
to give these children the same adyan-
tages which Others enjoy. a like contro-
versy has arisen at Fort Scott, Kansas
where the admission OF colored children
to the schools is bitterly resisted, and the
courts are called upon to vindicate their
right to education in the public schools
When we see evidences of such narrow
prejudice in States like Ohio and Kansas
we certainly should be somewhat lenient
in our Judgment OF such "A sentiment in
Georgia. In time the New England free
dom from prejudice of color is bound tC
prevail throughout the land, and men
will be judged by their merits and not by
the color of their skins.

The smelling committee" of the Mass
achusetts democratic State committee
have reported that the democrats have
thus far succeeded in displacing only
seventeen per cent of the clerks and sab.
ordinates in the federal Offices in that
State, and they raised a loud howl against
the retention of over 1000 republican
clerks. as "spies in the camp" 1t is in
tlmated that the report eXaggerates the
actual state of things and that number
of the alleged republicans so retained are
really mugwump allies of the democratic
party Still it is no doubt true that Mass
achusetts is to some extent an exception
to the rule that republicans must go. 1t
is the tub thrown to the mugwump
whale and he is as contented with it as
an animal that is determined to he suited
with his charmer can be. But 1t is an eX-
ception which proves the general rule.
The time will be short now, before every
federal office in all the rest of the country
viii be in democratic hands. Most of
them are there already and il remains to
be seen how much longer Massachusetts
will remain an exception. The democracy
Of that State have made distinct demand
upon the administration for the spells
which they consider to belong to them,
and with some further delay, perhaps,
their demand will probably be granted.

That the Interstate commerce law has
on the whole benefited the railroads of
the country is beyond question. While
the public has been permitted to know that
railroads have proftted by the new condi-
ton of affairs under the law the figures
have been generally withheld, and will only
come out in the reports at the end of the
year Probably i'll no direction has the
advantage been so great as the cutting of
free passes. The Interstate law operat-
ed as an excuse for cutting off great mum
bers of dead heads" and on some of the
leading lines of railroad it is said that the
difference will amount to from $500 600 to
SlOOO,0OO year. One result of the cut
ting off of free passes has been to diminish
the revenues of the palace car service
Men who ride on free passes almost invari
ably indulge in palace cars. But On being
compelled TO pay their fare many of them
ride in the ordinary passenger coaches.
